Christopher Bailey Honored by the Queen

Last Friday afternoon, Christopher Bailey was at Buckingham Palace picking up his Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) bestowed upon him by her majesty the Queen herself.

Dressed in a dapper tails tuxedo, the Burberry Chief Creative Officer was notified of the honor in June of this year, but it was just this past Friday when he was able to collect the medal itself.

At 38, Bailey has accomplished feats in fashion well beyond his years, from the very public resurrection of Burberry from a storied British label to an of-the-minute house, to the two honorary doctorates he's received from the University of Westminster and the University of Huddersfield.
